  This whole thing is like your aunt getting drunk on your birthday, getting way too personal and by the end of it she thinks she gave you some words of wisdom, when in reality she just vented to you about her divorce for an hour

  The "Unplugged" concept didn't really die, it just took a nap and woke up as Tiny Desk Concerts.

  no wonder Todd hates MTV Unplugged, it's basically turns every song into "white guy with acoustic guitar" version of the song

  As someone in the mental health feild, it makes me so sad when people start associating depression with reality and happiness with artificiality.

  "that's not what intentional means" with the Kurt Loder energy of telling Jewel she doesn't understand the word 'casualty'

  that kanye sample isn't even from the unplugged album, he had to have another singer do it because lauryn's lawyers jumped on him and wouldn't clear it. Weird he got the song, but not the singer, but yeah

  This is like a bizarre mash-up of a stoner with a guitar and a Christian youth music group councilor.

  The "Unplugged" concept was created at that time as a way for artists to prove they were real, because after the 1989 Milli Vanilli scandal there was a huge push in the U.S. for actual proof that the artists they were listening to were the actual deal and not someone posing as the supposed singer for the music when in reality someone else was singing that. MTV Unplugged was one of the ways to prove that, it was a show mostly done for artists to showcase their actual vocal abilities live without anything in between. It made sense during the 90's, but after a while it became more of the same and it got really tiring.

  Oh my God, just look at the faces of the people in the crowd. They sounded so pumped at the start, then wary, and now they all look like they're wondering if it's too late to back out now.
